Worst $30 you can spendOuch. Straight from the package, it malfunctioned. I've never had a problem with any reel, much less a spinning real. This one has odd controls and parts, aside from its worthless performance, and I wish I had opened it in time to return it.

concernsI bought this Mitchell reel expecting good service and use. My dad always had and used Mitchell reels when he was salt water fishing. The reel was smooth and easy to use until recently it started moving when I tried to reel it in. I am truly disappointed with the was it reels in now. I tightened the handle, but it still moves when reeling it in. I really felt I was buying a good brand name and would get better service from it.

Held Up to Salt water and redfishI bought these for customers to use on my boat and they have held up well so far. They have caught 26" redfish to 28" speckled trout. Very good value.

I've used these reels for my customers on my charter boat for a few years. They hold up very well and are a great value. The rear drag allows me to loosen the drag while my customers are fighting a fish if they are putting too much pressure on the fish. Saves s lot of broken off fish.
